About OtterQuest

 

OtterQuest

OtterQuest was created in 1999 as a way to increase ecological awareness and stewardship by exploring otters and their habitats.

Over the years I have been lucky to have the opportunities see otters in the wild, meet researchers, and to visit a number of facilities that have otters; in the Interactions pages I share some of those experiences and others experiences with otters also. I look forward to hearing about some of your experiences with otters too.

A big part of OtterQuest is the public information/ awareness program: *OtterQuest web site *Research *Festivals *School programs *Community Presentations *Activities

The web site has sections covering otter species worldwide (including distribution maps), the natural history of otters, current and historical otter research, otters in the news, personal interactions, interviews, video / multimedia, pic galleries, activities, events, resources and links, and even a few games too.

 

Danaan

Hi! My name is Danaan. I am a student, and recently graduated with degrees in Biology (specifically Ecology/Evolution/Conservation) and Anthropology. I have been interested in the natural world as long as I can remember, and otters for just slightly less than that ; ) .

During my undergraduate years I had the opportunity to study for a quarter in Brazil (see pic to the left), it was great! The people of the Amazon are wonderful. While I was there I got some good pics of the Amazon region and footage of the Giant Otter! Look for that video in the Interactions section.

If you see anything on the pages that is inaccurate or incomplete, please contact me so that I can update the site.

On the site I've also included a few pages of some of my other interests.
